Notes Before Starting

Thank you for checking out this game and for supporting Captain Disaster!

The developer is currently working on implementing Steam Achievements, but there is a system in-game that is working just fine! EDIT: As of 05/27/2020, the Steam Achievements for this game are live! They will not pop through normal play; however, they will mass-unlock as you visit the trophy room, which is found in the options. The game also takes you there automatically upon completion of the game.

This game will require 2 playthroughs to 100%. Take your time on the first playthrough, because you will need to play over three hours for an achievement. The second playthrough must be completed in less than half an hour. I was able to knock it out in about 15 minutes, so you have plenty of time.

You may find navigation a little slow. Midway through the game, there is an item that will speed things up, but there is an achievement for not using this item. There is a “game speed” slider in the options that makes everything run faster, you may want to set that to max.

Endgame and Final Puzzle

Return to the Stargate control panel on the left side of the moon.

Place the POWERED CRYSTAL from the chasm in the slot where the dull crystal came from.

We need to set the control panel to the intergalactic version of *69.

Going clockwise from position 1, enter this code:
Apple x4, Commodore x4, Windows x4, Atari x4.

Press the central button and you will get a scrambled dial code. This solution is randomized every game!

Before touching anything, use CAMERA on the controls! Now you have a snapshot of the puzzle to refer to if you mess up!

You need to modify this code by switching symbols.

  • Switch the symbol in position 1 with the symbol in position 10.
  • Switch the symbol in position 2 with the symbol in position 14.
  • Switch the symbol in position 3 with the symbol in position 7.
  • Switch the symbol in position 4 with the symbol in position 6.
  • Switch the symbol in position 5 with the symbol in position 11.
  • Switch the symbol in position 8 with the symbol in position 9.
  • Switch the symbol in position 12 with the symbol in position 16.
  • Switch the symbol in position 13 with the symbol in position 15
